Why this must be read: This is the Horsemen story that turns everything you know about "Comes A Horseman" and "Revelations 6:8" inside out,without changing a single detail of canon. Everything Dies is the most seamless crossover I've ever seen, taking place before, in, and around the on-screen events of the Horsemen episodes. It answers any number of plot questions left threadbare: How did Kronos find Methos? Who cleaned up the submarine base, and the leftover virus? What was the virus Kronos found?

If you'd like to see answers to those, well, read this one. If you want to read an HL/XF crossover where it wasn't Mulder who found out about immortality, come along. If you just want to read a damn fine story, you're definitely headed to the right place. Everything Dies is by turns violent, loving, dangerous, cruel, and full of graphic sex and violence. Or, as Sleeps With Coyotes put it in the disclaimer: "NC-17 for m/m sex, language, violence, psycho phone sex, MORE irate Horsemen, and ambivalent Russians."

Koren had to die. Soon. The more time Alex spent with the Immortal, the more obvious it became that Koren was on the edge, fractured, and while on any other day that would have cemented their friendship in blood, Koren was the last person on earth Alex wanted to see with the virus. And as for the other end of their little deal...

No way was this Immortality thing a simple case of alien tech. This was definitely biological, and his only question now was whether it was something that could be shared, like Koren had hinted, or whether the guy was just stringing him along. Because if it was the latter, Alex wasn't going to be a very happy camper.

And neither would Koren, by the time Alex was done.
